Abstract

The proposal will be carried out by researchers from several institutions, coordinating around the capability of reception and processing of images installed in the Cptec/Inpe.We will develop four studies along four lines: 1) monitoring of winds and systems by satellite (using Goes channels 1,3,4); 2) radioactive fluxes in the earthatmosphere system (Goes im. channels 1,4; AVHRR im.); 3) temperature of the sea surface (AVHRR-Noaa images channels 1-5 and Goes 1,4,5); 4) properties of continental surfaces (AVHRR and Goes images): índices of vegetation and detection of biomass burnings. All the lines should lead to the development of operational processes of monitoring weather and climate. (AU)
